Listen for that phrase – A Better Deal – from Democrats throughout the 2018 midterms. It’s their version of the New Deal.

This is a thought, from the Kennedy speech, that I expect many Democratic candidates in 2020 to expand on: the idea that Americans are being given “false choices,” as Kennedy puts it: “As if the mechanic in Pittsburgh and the teacher in Tulsa and the daycare worker in Birmingham are somehow bitter rivals, rather than mutual casualties of a system forcefully rigged for those at the top.”

“Forcefully rigged for those at the top” is some serious Bernie Sanders phrasing.
